Doing Good Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 23, 2021

Paul says there are two kinds of seeds we sow in life. There are the seeds of self-indulgence which please the sinful nature, and there are the seeds of doing good to others which please the Spirit.

In the spring of 1897, Thomas Hanna, a 25 year old Baptist pastor fell out of his carriage and landed on his head. When he woke up he was in a state of total amnesia.

The Real Lord Of The Dance Series

Contributed by Cesar Verdeflor on Feb 9, 2006

Life is like a dance. The moment you were conceived and as you were growing in your mother’s womb you move your limbs, rhythmically in synchronicity with the other parts of your body—you were dancing.

Life is like a dance. In a dance, we have to learn the basic steps before being considered a good dancer. Learning to dance does not happen overnight. We learn it step by step. So is life.

Heartbroken For Humanity

Contributed by Danny Anderson on Oct 28, 2006

Keith Green once said: "This generation of believers is responsible for this generation of souls." Think about that for a moment. To say it even better, you as a believer will one day be responsible for the lost souls that stray into your daily path.

The Garden Of Gethsemane

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on May 30, 2009

Seeking Gods will in our life takes moments of great surrender just as Jesus demonstrates for us in the garden. Our Heavenly Father works out the events of our life in a mysterious way we can not comprehend it all.

The Garden of Gethsemane Exodus 12:1-10 Mark 14:12-42 One of the most famous paintings in the world is that of Heinrich Hofman and his work entitled Christ in Gethsemane 1890.

In The Cave

Contributed by Roger Whipp on Dec 29, 2014

During our low moments, maybe even depression, do we hid ourselves away? We can't hid from God. We need to come out of our emotional caves into the light of Christ.

Born To Die, Living In The Shadow Of The Cross

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Dec 12, 2012

Christ was born to die. From the moment He was born, the Cross at Calvary cast its shadow upon that Infant and would never leave Him until He had finished His mission. He was born to die.

Born to Die, Living in the Shadow of the Cross John12:27–28.” At Christmas we like to think of the Baby lying in a manager. We like the warm and tender feelings we get from songs like “Away in the manger” and “Silent Night”. The world by large does not give ...read more

There are pivotal moments in our history… Pearl Harbor, Kennedy’s Assassination, D-Day, the fall of the Berlin Wall, September 11. But none would compare with the days of Exodus 12. This was big, really big. So big that God would change their entire calendar! I believe God loves ...read more

The Spirituality Trap

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Feb 24, 2023

We have a tendency to see the shining mountaintop moments or the depths of despair as being the most spiritually significant. But genuine spirituality surfaces - and matures - in the daily decision to forgive, to tell the truth, to resist a temptation or to hold our tongues.

My mom tells me that when we were little she could dress my sister and me up for church in starched white petticoats and send us out to play in the yard until time to leave for church and be absolutely certain that we wouldn’t have a spot on us. We LOVED to dress up. There was no way we were going ...read more

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Oct 6, 2016
